AbstractThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the mathematical model for traffic flowing
through a merging area on the Malaysia Federal Highway operation which ramp areas at Kilometer
31.6 from Shah Alam to Kuala Lumpur, Kilometer 32.9 from Kuala Lumpur to Shah Alam
and Kilometer 33 from Kuala Lumpur to Shah Alam. The continuous flow model was used in
this study that assumes traffic flow to be similar to the heat equation in regards to the concept
of the one-dimensional viscous flow of compressible fluid. The research design used in this study
was comparative method. The continuous flow model set an initial condition, together with a set of
boundary conditions, was prescribed to solve the partial differential equation. The
boundary conditions were selected to assess the suitableness of the design of the entrance ramp in
Malaysia. A sample of highway traffic data wasÂ.....
